.xxx Registrar To Launch Pr0n Search Engine 149
angry tapir writes "The company behind the .xxx top-level domain plans to launch a search engine in an effort to drive more traffic to .xxx websites and give pornography fans a more satisfying search experience. ICM Registry, which operates the 9-month-old .xxx TLD, is scheduled to launch Search.xxx this week, said Stuart Lawley, ICM's CEO. The new search engine will give users a more streamlined searching process, help protect them from viruses and malware and help guard their privacy, he said. The search engine has cataloged 21 million webpages from .xxx sites, he said. 'It's porn, only porn, all porn,' he said. 'There's as much porn there as anyone would need, I'd imagine.'"

I kinda agree, where porn includes sex.
Thanks to the Internet, women have found that there is a *huge* demand for their bodies, and that they don't even have to leave their rooms to provide that demand and to obtain whatever people are prepared to trade in return for it.
So while fifteen years ago you were competing against the guys in your neighbourhood in person, today you're competing against the world with a webcam.

Hmm, I wonder. You see, the porn industry has been complaining for a long time about hard times (yes, I know, a pun of sorts, but not intended). I think the truth of the matter is that pornography only really attracts those who have been unable to find anything better in their lives, which is really sad. Pornography seems always to be disappointing - plasticky looking Ken and Barbie types mechanically doing things and looking utterly bored. I am, by the way, from Denmark, where people are incredibly open-minded and at it all the time, everywhere, as we all know, so I know what I am talking about.
Sex is nice, but vastly overhyped. Like anything enjoyable, it becomes trivial when you have had enough, and that happens much sooner than you imagine as a teenager; and it's a good thing really, because there is so much more to life than screwing around.

You quite clearly don't get out much. The great thing about internet porn is the variety. Yes there is plasticky bored looking good looking people having sex, but there is also ugly people, amateurs, young, old, fat, skinny, gay, trannies, hairy, shaved, dwarves, giants, every race, colour, creed all doing all sorts of things to each other for your pleasure. Everyone has different desires and pornography caters to most of them.

From Wikipedia [wikipedia.org]
Pr0n is slang for pornography.[1] This is a deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for porn,[14] where a zero is often used to replace the letter O. It is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters, which may reject messages as offensive or spam. The word also helps prevent search engines from associating commercial sites with pornography, which might result in unwelcome traffic.
